Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Sachet

It's time for a new challenge at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Sachet


SO much inspiration to be had - hearts, sweet patterns, scallops, wood panelling - I used it all in one card!

CC Sachet

I started looking through my stash one thing at a time. Heart dies...here's a fun one with stitching and scallops and even better - it was in my Never-Before-Used-Stash!!  Patterns.  This is an older paper pad, but it has a fun pattern that would fit perfectly in those little sachets and it has a matching woodgrain pattern!  I had a bit of a false start on the border. I originally tried a straight border panel with a variety of die cut stitches on it. It just looked too....straight!!  Then I remember, in my NBUS stash - these curved, scalloped borders!!  This had to be one of the quickest and easiest cards for me in recent memory - the joy of having a large (way-too-big) stash!!

I hope to see you playing along!!  Be sure to check out the other designers on the Curtain Call blog (including our special guest - Tricia Traxler at Simply Stamping) because you will be absolutely amazed at the variety of inspiration from this one picture!

SUPPLY LIST

The paper is from an older 6x6 pad - My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up. The enamel dots are from the MME Lost & Found Record It collection.
